Vocational Training: A Literature Review

The skills of workers have not met the changing requirements of the labor market, so in recent times, the rate of young people unemployed or unable to find suitable jobs has been relatively high compared to the unemployment rate in the working age group nationwide (7.61% compared to the national average of 2.25%). Besides the achieved results, vocational training still has many shortcomings, such as not having many new jobs suitable for socio-economic development. Vocational training programs are not linked to new scientific and technical advances. Training methods have not changed much. There are outdated facilities, infrastructure, and equipment; there are not many modern practice rooms. Therefore, state management agencies and vocational training institutions should promptly have solutions to overcome the problem. The objective of this study is to discuss vocational training and the importance of vocational training. The study uses qualitative research methods with synthesis and comparison techniques to analyze and discuss vocational training. Thereby, the study proposes a number of implications for improving the quality of vocational training to meet the requirements of recruiting units and changes in the labor market in the context of digital transformation.
